Why are aneroid barometers advantageous in comparison to a mercurial barometer for some applications?
The reason why aneroid barometers are advantageous compared to those of a mercurial barometers for some applications.
A mercury barometer does not really determine the pressure exerted by the atmosphere; however, it records the response to atmospheric pressure. This means that as the atmosphere applies a definite pressure, the mercury in the tube rises to a particular height. This device is vulnerable to external pressure, and the transportation of the same is also difficult...
